Tell the NY TImes:The Evidence Isn't Hard to Find...If You Just Look

Yesterday
New York Times Chief Washington Correspondent was the
guest on CSPAN’s Washington Journal, where he had this to say about :

“We
have not found any evidence so far – that doesn’t mean there’s none
there – but we’ve not found any evidence so far to suggest that the
building collapses were caused by anything other than the two airplanes
that flew into them.”

Sanger
was responding to a question from a caller who wanted to know why,
despite the massive billboard standing right outside the New York Times
Building, the paper of record had failed to “fairly and objectively
cover this crucial issue.”

Now
with a senior representative of the New York Times on the record
saying, “We’ve not found any evidence so far,” it is time to let Sanger
and the editors know that the evidence is there. All they need to do is look and they’ll easily find it. Contact the NY Times Today!

Contact the NY Times Today

Last
week over 1,000 people contacted the BBC in response to our action
alert regarding the BBC’s one-sided article on the ReThink911 campaign.
Let’s surpass that level of support today. Please take 2 minutes right
now to contact David Sanger and the NY Times editors. Just copy-paste
the letter below, or write your own. Please be sure to Bcc us at
AE911Truth so that we can keep a count of how many emails are sent.

On
Sunday, December 23, 2013, you, Mr. Sanger, told a caller on CSPAN’s
Washington Journal that the New York Times had not found any evidence so
far to suggest that the collapse of WTC Building 7 was caused by
anything other than an indirect result of the airplanes flying into the
Twin Towers. I am writing to tell you that the evidence is indeed there,
and I urge you to look into it. 2,100 architects and engineers have
signed a petition at AE911Truth.org calling for a new investigation
based on this evidence. The following points are just a few from among
the growing body of evidence that overwhelmingly supports the conclusion that Building 7 came down by controlled demolition.

Building 7 accelerated downward at absolute free-fall for the first few seconds of its 7-second symmetrical collapse.

However,
a building cannot undergo free-fall if it is meeting any resistance
from any of the columns below it, as any resistance would slow the
building’s descent.

Therefore, the lower section of the building could not have been “crushed” by the upper freely falling section.

The
destruction of at least 8 stories of the lower section of the building
had to have been accomplished by other means, i.e. explosives or
incendiaries, to allow the upper section of the building to fall through
it in free-fall. Learn more about the free-fall of Building 7.

There is clear evidence of melted steel at Building 7, first reported on by the NY Times, and incendiaries in numerous dust samples from Ground Zero.

As
you well understand, the implications of the controlled demolition of
Building 7 are extraordinary, since it is integral to the 9/11 events,
and therefore the question of what happened to Building 7 is of the
greatest importance. I thank you in advance for taking the time to
seriously examine this crucial issue.

In an attempt to reconcile the thermite evidence with the official story, debunker Frank Greening once proposed that aluminium from the planes reacted with rust on the steel structures, "inducing violent thermite explosions", and that this "repeated in a rapidly accelerating, and increasingly violent cascade of destruction",
resulting in the global collapse of the towers. In other words, he
proposed that the twin towers were destroyed by thermite ... naturally!

Dr.
Greening is, I believe, a chemist so it is only fair to look at this
field of study first of all. One of his most well known arguments is
that there could have been natural thermite reactions within the tower
fires. He lists those ingredients which are necessary for this natural
thermite and shows that all of these ingredients were present, so his
argument follows that a natural thermite reaction could have taken
place. Now I will never claim to be good at chemistry but I know that if
I leave margarine, flour, sugar and fruit in a cupboard, when I next
open the cupboard I will not find a fruit crumble. Some mechanism is
required to convert the ingredients. Similarly, if I take these same
ingredients, set them alight and throw them out the window, I still will
not get my fruit crumble. The mechanism must have some order. Dr.
Greening fails to provide any explanation or narrative for these
required mechanisms but rather relies on simply ticking off the
ingredients and falling back on the unfailing support of his accolytes.
It came as an enormous surprise to me that some educated people have
been taken in by this, most notably and recently was Manuel Garcia, in
his Counterpunch article. What we are being asked to swallow in place of
our absent fruit crumble, is that the tonnes of aluminium aircraft
parts were powderised upon impact, thoroughly mixed with tonnes of rust
from the towers steel superstructure in exactly the required proportion
to form tonnes of thermite, which then hung around for about an hour
before distributing itself to key structural points throughout the
tower, then igniting in a complex sequence to cause the towers'
collapse. It is granted that a good imagination is a requirement for a
good scientist, but this just abuses the privilege. Perhaps the name for
this natural thermite should instead be intelligent thermite, or
intelligent malevolent thermite.

As both a 9/11 truther and a Darwinism heretic,
I find the fruit crumble analogy and 'intelligent malevolent thermite'
designation doubly scrumptious. It is hard to believe anyone with the
slightest semblance of rationality, never mind a professional chemist,
would seriously suggest such a thing, but what do you expect from
someone who denies Newton's third law?!

"His research was hardly shocking. It has been backed up by plenty of
other experts, including those at Popular Mechanics who published a special report called Debunking the 9/11 Myths." - BBC

Debunking the REAL 9/11 Myths: Why Popular Mechanics Can't Face Up to Reality

I am happy to announce that my latest article is finally available online! My newest work, titled Debunking the REAL 9/11 Myths: Why Popular Mechanics Can't Face Up to Reality,
is a point-by-point refutation of Popular Mechanics' weak arguments
regarding the controlled demolition of the three WTC buildings. If you
thought Popular Mechanics' updated 2011 book refuted the so-called
"conspiracy theories" about 9/11, think again.

Editor’s note: This is Part 10 of 10 (see Part 9),
the conclusion of an extensive report by 9/11 researcher Adam Taylor
that exposes the fallacies and flaws in the arguments made by the
writers and editors of Popular Mechanics (PM) in the latest edition of
Debunking 9/11 Myths. We encourage you to submit your own reviews of the book at Amazon.com and other places where it is sold. (Quotes from PM are shown in red and with page numbers.)

"Jonathan Kay, an editor at the National Post and author of Among the
Truthers, said 9/11 conspiracy theories resonate for a reason." - BBC

ReThink911 Keeps Building 7 in the Headlines

Let the BBC Editor Know the Public Doesn’t Buy Their One-Sided Coverage

Plus: NY Times Billboard Continues through December!

Yesterday the BBC published an article about the ongoing ReThink911 ad campaign in Ottawa. Featured on the BBC’s News homepage still today, the article has been seen by hundreds of thousands of readers.

This
piece marks the fifth mainstream news article about ReThink911’s Ottawa
campaign since the announcement of the campaign on November 20. But
unlike its Canadian counterparts, the BBC has a tendency for falseness
and one-sidedness rivaled only by the likes of Fox News.

Tell the BBC Editor Their Reporting Is a Journalistic Disgrace

Please
take 2 minutes right now to let the Editor of the BBC’s North America
edition know how you feel about their reporting. Just copy-paste the
letter below, or write your own. Please be sure to Bcc us at AE911Truth
so that we can keep a count of how many emails are sent.

The
BBC’s article on the ReThink911 ad campaign in Ottawa is a journalistic
disgrace. The number of false claims and one-sided maneuvers is simply
astounding.

Most
disturbing is how the article falsely labeled Jonathan Kay and Popular
Mechanics “experts,” while neglecting to quote a single one of the 2,100
engineering and architecture experts who are so critical of the
official account that they are demanding a new World Trade Center
investigation. In addition, the article provides links to every source
it references that supports the official account of 9/11, but not a
single link to a source critiquing the official account.

With
regard to the poll commissioned by ReThink911 and conducted by the
polling firm YouGov, the article falsely, groundlessly calls it
“unscientific,” and then conveniently neglects to embed or link to the
30-second video shown to the poll respondents. It seems rather obvious
the video would be of interest to your readers.

The
article disrespectfully caricatures 9/11 activists by likening the
group in Hamilton, Ontario to terrorists belonging to a “cell,” and the
article does not mention even once the name of the ad campaign – or its
website ReThink911.org.

If
your goal was to mislead the public about the very serious pursuit of
truth regarding the events of 9/11, congratulations, I would say you
succeeded admirably – except I think most people can see through this
atrocious, unabashedly one-sided “reporting.”

If
you care at all about preserving the BBC’s journalistic integrity, I
would suggest you make up for this horrible disservice to the public
with an article that gives equal and unbiased attention to the more than
2,100 architects and engineers calling for a new investigation into the
destruction of Building 7.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

NY Times Billboard to Continue through December

Finally,
we are thrilled to inform you that we have extended our NY Times
billboard through the end of December for an absolutely rock bottom
price. Our audacious billboard continues to greet reporters and editors
on the way to work everyday. Soon we will be announcing new actions to
hold the NY Times accountable for its lack of coverage of Building 7.
Stay tuned!

Don’t Want to Work Alone? Then Do It with A Friend!

The Do-It-Yourself
Street Visibility Action Kit includes all you need for a one-person
effort to take your commitment to the next step in reaching friends,
neighbors, and complete strangersKick your motivation into
action with one of our two exciting new ReThink911 Street Visibility
Action Kits available today in the AE911Truth store. Now you have what
you need to get folks out there to see you, and to seriously rethink the
events of 9/11.

Our professionally crafted clothing and educational materials make it easy for you to reinforce the message of ReThink911,
the global public awareness campaign we launched in September. Here is
yet another way for you and all your 9/11-aware friends to educate the
public and galvanize support for a new investigation of the destruction
of the three WTC skyscrapers on 9/11/01. This campaign is led by AE911Truth and supported by a coalition of more than 30 organizations.

These packages will identify you as an informed activist with an important message. Let people on the street see you – and “pre-qualify” themselves. Many people find that, while they’re wearing our T-shirts or hats, others will strike up a conversation!

Street visibility with the public has been as important to the 9/11 Truth Movement as our outreach to media and government
The Do-it-Yourself
Street Visibility Action Kit includes one ReThink911 T-shirt (printed
on both sides – available in your size in either men's or women’s
styles), the ReThink911 baseball cap, 100 Rethink911 ”street brochures”
and 10 ReThink911 2” oval stickers. The powerful ensemble works well and
is quite thought-provoking.

The Do-it-with-a-Friend
Street Visibility Action Kit will ensure that neither your activist
contingent nor your message are missed. The rigid sign comes with a
handle that can be driven onto the ground in your front yard
This kit costs $52 (a savings of $15 over buying the items
individually) and will empower you to stimulate questions and give the
answers. You can station yourself on a street corner, in a public park,
or anywhere people gather or walk by – or just go about your business
and be prepared to answer questions.

The hand sign can also be used as a lawn sign. The large vinyl banner
is ideal for street action or even freeway overpass hanging or “freeway
blogging”. Both are guaranteed to get attention. This kit costs $220 (a
savings of $108).

The New York Times ReThink911 billboard calls upon the “Newspaper of Record” to unerase the history of 9/11Recently
ReThink911 raised $24,000 in three days to sponsor a billboard across
the street from the New York Times Building during the month of
November. The billboard asks the Times about its lack of coverage of
questions about the destruction of World Trade Center Building 7. Four
people will be leafleting at this location every weekday from 4:30 pm to
6:00 pm until Thanksgiving. This is a great opportunity for anyone in
New York and its environs to take part in this historic campaign. The
Street Visibility Action Kits will be deployed!Our
new ReThink911-themed materials, used here in San Francisco, reinforce
the Times Square and New York Times branding and message

...raise curiosity...provide information...

A new ad campaign
is planned in Canada that will reach 70% of Ottawa residents in
December and 40% of Toronto residents in January. You can still donate to this $75,000 campaign to get Canadians to rethink 9/11. If you’re in Canada, use your Action Kits to support this effort.

You can start your own action group and encourage others to join you in presenting the compelling evidence.

My friend can be seen handing them out in a video on my previous post, "Help to Spread the Word About ReThink911.org With This Street Brochure," while in front of the NY Times building in NYC. Which as many readers know currently has a 29-foot by 13-foot ReThink911.org billboard directly adjacent to it, that calls out the Times for their lack of coverage of the campaign (which thus far has resulted in exactly the same amount of non-coverage, see related link below).

I on the other hand opted to just to hang my fliers up about my area like so. There is no shortage of creative ways to use these tools to inform people once you get to brainstorming, so please consider doing your small but important part in raising more awareness to this important and historic effort. The Times isn't doing their job so we have to continue on being the media and change we want to see.

The 9/11 truth movement has no single manifestation, but remains driven
and defined not by its most prominent voices, but by its mandate to
counter a sea of lies and evoke something that establishes the truth.
History may well view 9/11 not as the day America was attacked by a
foreign terrorist group, but the day the United States – a once great
republic defined by its Constitution and an established respect for
individual rights and a separation of powers – began to nosedive into
decline.

The reasons are numerous, even legion. So are the lies that began with
that traumatic national wound. The truth then, necessarily, is detailed
and multifaceted. It has many angles that each yield important pieces of
a profound but simple revelation – a great nation’s laws, the American
way of life, already undermined and deteriorating, was hijacked and
transformed by the power of “magic.” Not supernatural magic directed by
forces unseen, but a complicated parlor trick, concocted by a cadre of
powerful illusionists who’ve taken the world for a sick, twisted and
regrettable ride.

Untangling that lie – that is, even beginning to contemplate repair and
restoration – requires confronting that truth, the essential truth, from
whatever angle one finds to be a traversable path.

One of the most palatable, yet confrontational remains the question of World Trade Center Building 7.

Though it was not hit by a plane, nor severely damaged by the wreckage
of the collapses of the Twin Towers, the 47-foot skyscraper, which
housed important government and finance institutions, collapsed well
into the afternoon of 9/11, and significantly, appeared to collapse just
as buildings taken down deliberately by demolition do.

Its
collapse – broadcast live during the chaotic and traumatic news
coverage of the day – fits into the official story of 9/11 like a square
peg into a round hole. WTC7 clashes so soundly with the version of
events sold to the public, that raising awareness of its very existence
has been enough to snap countless individuals out of their 9/11
“hypnosis” and allow other pertinent questions to be raised – and
actually contemplated.

It was omitted from the 9/11 Commission’s final report, but officially
explained via fires that brought down the support columns. While such
fires did exist, they do little to explain the structural failure that
caused the building to fall suddenly and completely at a rate quite
close to free fall speed. After considerably delay, the National
Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) explained away the event
as if sweeping dirt under a rug to avoid embarrassment.

Instead groups like Architects & Engineers for 9/11 and various awareness campaigns –including ReThink 9/11
– have studied the case of WTC7 from the point of view of physics,
science, public policy and common sense to present an alternative
explanation considerably closer to reality.

WTC Building 7 has become a rallying point for 9/11 conspiracy realists –
awakened to the fact that the fast & furious conclusion of the
September 11 attacks were used to pursue a dark political agenda – and
instead use its embarrassing, sore thumb, loose end of an existence
(prior to collapse that is) to raise and perpetuate compelling questions
that can not and should not be ignored.

The very fact that people think they would know about something as major as 9/11 being an inside job is one of the main things that helps keep that awareness out of their consciousness. Here's a nonpolitical example:

Mark Twain supposedly once said, If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you do read the newspaper, you're misinformed. The blow-dried airheads on TV don't help, as they chime in with, "Oh, that's just a conspiracy theory. Ignore it and watch this cute story about a cat that's learned how to knit."

And it isn't necessarily just ignorance either. Former Deputy CIA Director Frank Wiser used to refer to the media as "The Mighty Wurlitzer"--for his ability to make it play whatever tunes he wanted."

(I'm not implying that the CIA was involved in 9/11. I'm just giving you an idea of how thoroughly some parts of the government control the mainstream media...or at least think they do.)

This underestimation of the power of scientific discovery even extended
to the venerable New York Times. (In 1903, the Times declared that
flying machines were a waste of time, just a week before the Wright
brothers successfully flew their airplane at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
In 1920, the Times criticized rocket scientist Robert Goddard,
declaring his work nonsense because rockets cannot move in a vacuum.
Forty-nine years later, when Apollo 11 astronauts landed on the moon,
the Times, to its credit, ran the retraction: "It is now definitely
established that a rocket can function in a vacuum. The Times regrets
the error.")

But that was a long time ago you say? Well just this year a Times story omitted and distorted facts regarding autism in a story headlined with what the Times dubbed a link to Autism and a "cancer gene." Emily Willingham at Forbes explained, among other things that, "the gene in question isn’t just a 'cancer gene.' It’s a gene that
regulates the cell cycle, and changes in these genes can and do have
effects that aren’t confined to cancer. Calling it a 'cancer' gene in
this context is inflammatory, at best." Concluding her article by stating, " Autistic people and their families deserve more care than this, and
readers of the New York Times deserve careful, accurate science writing
placed in an appropriate context."

This isn't to say the Times does bad science reporting in general, I don't know if that's the case or not, it's just to say that readers should not decide issues based on the paper's choice of coverage, or the coverage itself, before looking into the issue themselves. As ReThink911's billboard says, The Evidence Might Surprise You.

So is it a worthy effort on the part of the
ReThink911 campaign to get Times coverage? Absolutely. If the coverage
was the least bit fair it would surely awaken many who dismiss 9/11 truth issues because "they surely would have read about it...in the New York Times." That said, I think it's equally important, to let those people
who stumble across the campaign and wonder why the Times ignored the
sign and letters, know about the history demonstrating that the Times
non-reaction doesn't necessarily reflect their being on the side of
truth in matters. And of course this would also apply to any negative coverage, which both the Times and Scientific American have given the 9/11 truth movement in the past.
